A Brighter Life

Born in a stable or a hospital
Ward we're all on our own after cutting the
Cord, and forward we
Pour - all you can do is keep playing the
Game while your searching for meaning like looking for
Grains of gold on the beach in the
Dark, so be like the sparks from the
Fire, as they twist in the breeze and then
Die, up in the sky, live a
Brighter life and then say goodbye

Nobody asked you if you wanted
Life - but you're still here trying hard to
Survive - racing with
Rats, so hats off to you, you’re a unique
Machine of blood and desire and emotional
Needs that hold the seeds of the things that you
Do, good, mad or totally insane it’s all
You, and whatever you do make it count, make it
Shine, so when you get off at the end of the
Line, you leave something behind

And if you believe this is it
And you're not coming back for a resit
Then what the hell is there to lose?
Just put on your dancing shoes

Princes and paupers, servants and
Queens, we're all made the same we all crap in
Latrines - if you get what I
Mean, nobody's better than anyone
Else, we're judged by the things that we do with our
Wealth - keep it all to
Yourself or give of it freely to those that have
Lack, your time and your patience, your love and your
Backbone - give it a
Whack, and not just at Christmas or Children In
Need, the more that you give then the more you
Receive, I know it sounds strange but just
Change one thing at a
Time, make the best of the gifts that you've
Got, why not? Live a
Brighter life and then say goodbye
Live a brighter life and then say goodbye
